Sprinkle the diced apples on top and mix until evenly dispersed.
Pour the plant milk and maple syrup over top of the dry ingredients. The oats should be mostly covered but not fully. Top with sliced apples if desired.

Notes
Buy apples in the fall when they are in season. Peel, dice, and freeze for up to 6 months. This recipe works great with frozen apples too.
Make this oatmeal the night before and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
Not Vegan? Use one egg, beaten, instead of flaxseed. Use cow's milk instead of plant milk.
Gluten-Free? Make sure to select a certified gluten-free variety of oats.
Want more protein? Add chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds before baking.
Don't have flaxseed? Replace with one banana, mashed.
